unexpected gift.

 "i want you to listen to me,"

his eyes on all my children, 

capturing their eyes with his, 

as he lowered himself to the picnic table 

where they sat quietly. 

"Your mom..is the best cook 

in the world. 

You guys have such an amazing mom."

he said so earnestly, so sincerely, 

it almost brought me to tears. 

And my son, surprised me with agreeing with him, 

"yes, i know! she really is!"

and just like that, my cup was filled. 

thank you, Father, 

for the gift of encouragement, 

and for allowing me to feel seen.
